“Undoubtedly, they have tightened control over transit, we felt it about four weeks ago.

Now everything has returned, one might say, to the usual regime, ”Alikhanov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Thus, he answered the question of whether Lithuania's promises to significantly strengthen the security of transit to Kaliningrad came true.

“If at some point in time they inspected almost every car, drove it through all the special equipment, now it has become a little simpler,” Alikhanov noted.

At the end of March, the head of the Lithuanian Interior Ministry, Agne Bilotaite, said that the decision on a possible stop of transit to the Kaliningrad region should be taken by the EU.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko called reports of a possible blockade of Kaliningrad playing with fire.
